for the word "god" in reference to Christ (The Word) and in reference to God Almighty?

Who else did he make reference to as "god or "a god" and how was the Greek word for "god" spelled in those instances?

Theos- God. Now in greek the word endings tell different things about the word; whether it is the subject, direct object, etc...

He dies refer to Jesus as: the word, God, etc.

One. He used the word "THEOS." The word was appropriated by Jews and retained by Christians to denote the one true God. In the Sept. theos translates (with few exceptions) the Hebrew words Elohim and Jehovah, the former indicating His power and pre-eminence, the latter His unoriginated, immutable, eternal and self-sustained existence. The Divine attributes are likewise indicated or definitely predicated of Christ (John 1:1-3; 1 John 5:20; Rev. 22:12-13). John also used the word in reference to the Holy Spirit (John 14:16; 15:26; 16:7-14). The word is also used by John of Divinely appointed judges in Israel, as representing God in His authority (John 10:34), quoted from Psalms 82:6, which indicates that God Himself sits in judgment on those whom He has appointed.

Peace be with you.

There are many references, The Word, the Word of God, The Light, Son of God, Son of man, But they were all said just to fulfill scripture. Jesus Christ is the Word of God.

In John references to God included the "Father, who art in heaven" The Son who is the "Word of God" and Satan who is the "God of Sinai"
